The Lincoln Project and The Progress Action Fund have continued their mastery in political ad production.
This time, both organizations have released pieces depicting American Duce Wannabe Donald Trump’s and Kapo-Judenrat Stephen Miller’s quest to sick ICE Gestapo and the National Guard on innocent Americans and immigrants who are following the rules to stay in the country.
The below Lincoln Project ad is called “LA” and depicts Trumps Fascist-Authoritarian move to send the National Guard, ICE Gestapo Secret Police, and the Marines into Los Angeles to capture and detain innocent people in his war against blue states and cities.
The second ad called “Republican Kidnappers” shows an innocent woman being captured by masked ICE Gestapo Secret Police Thugs with her boyfriend protesting her innocence.
Chilling stuff.
This is not the America or Arizona I grew up in.
In the Grand Canyon State, budget, some Democrats have called attention to a provision in the Senate Bipartisan Budget that gives $29 million for Gang & Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission (GIITEM-$24.7 million) and assistance to ICE.
Democratic House Representative Consuelo Hernandez commented on this fascist line item:
“I’m appalled any Democrat would think a state budget that includes over 24M for GITTEM funds and 5M for ice is a great deal! See the highlighted section of the bill stating these funds will be used to enforce picking up illegal aliens. No amount of money is enough to repair the damage of separating families. Please help me contact your Democrat senators and state representatives and tell them to vote NO on this poison pill of a budget. There is nothing to celebrate in this “negotiated budget”. It’s a sham and it doesn’t matter how big the shiny bow democrats are packaging it up as. I’m insulted that Democrats are celebrating this. Our communities are under threat and we cannot trust this money will be used for any other reason besides separate families.”
State Senator Senator Sally Ann Gonzales Chair, Arizona Indigenous Caucus wrote in an Arizona Senate Democratic Statement:
“As the Chair of the Indigenous Caucus and former Chair of the Latino Caucus, I categorically condemn the inclusion of $24.7 million for the Gang & Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission (GIITEM) in Arizona’s 2025 – 2026 state budget. This is not just bad policy; it is a moral betrayal. GIITEM has a documented history of racial profiling, overreach, and community harm. It is unacceptable that a single dollar more is being allocated to a program that has refused to produce performance data in over four years, operates without transparency, and actively targets immigrant, Latino, and Indigenous communities. No Democrat should vote for this budget, period. Any Democrat who votes “yes” on this budget is complicit in the criminalization of our communities. You cannot call yourself a defender of working families, immigrants, or civil rights and simultaneously fund a program rooted in racial discrimination and anti-immigrant hysteria. This moment demands moral clarity, standing with our communities requires courage, not complicity. Our constituents sent us here to lead, not to capitulate to extremist priorities. If you vote for this budget, you are voting against the very people who elected you. Arizona deserves a budget that reflects justice, equity, and accountability, not one that perpetuates failed and dangerous enforcement programs. I urge every member of the Legislature to reject this budget and stand on the right side of history.”
Hernandez and Gonzales have called on all Democrats in the Arizona House and Senate to vote no on the budget being considered.
Democrats need to consider if they want to aid in the cruel and vicious behavior Trump’s ICE Gestapo Masked Secret Police are undertaking in this country and state. They should work to take that monstrous provision out before taking the final vote this week.
